We have a 27 foot Class C. We have traveled across the country to the western states and national parks three times, and this past summer traveled to Alaska all without a toad. We have had no trouble parking the RV close by to various venues. At times, we will call ahead to make reservations, then ask them where to park the motorhome.
As to unhooking, often we will only hook-up electric at a CG. When we want to go somewhere, its only a matter of un-plugging the cord and going. It takes less than 5 minutes.
We have parked in small towns without issue, think Jackson WY, Estes Park CO, Ft. Collins CO, Great Falls MT, etc. We have also parked in the lot for the Santa Monica pier. Only once were we not able to park to see something, but there were no available parking spots, not even for a toad.
We are travelers as you can tell. No toad works for us. But, if you tend to stay in one place for a longer time to see local events, a toad might be the best for your circumstances. Like many things in life, there is no right or wrong solution, only different ones. Best wishes on your trips.
